Big Bear - On-Demand!

Something a bit different. Not in-person events, not virtual events… On-demand events! A hybrid of being on one of our courses but whenever you want it – and with the all-important medal at the end!!

The concept is simple. Sign up to the specific On-demand event you’d like to do here (medal and venue combos will stay the same as the in-person events), log in to the Skamper event with the code you’ll receive and go and run your on-demand event while being guided by Skamper whenever you want to!

I think it’s a great idea. I know that midweek doesn’t work for everyone. Lots of our courses and venues aren’t suitable for 100+ on a Saturday or Sunday morning but are still great running routes. The idea of our On-Demand events is to give those who can’t make an event the chance to run the course and make their own event. The Skamper app does the work of guiding you round the course, we supply the medal and all you’ve got to do is the running, hiking or walking!

Of course you can run as many laps as you want on the day and could run for 12 hours instead if you liked! You can run it with your kids, your running group or all on your own – it’s completely up to you!

I’ve always been keen to allow more people to earn our medals and this opportunity with Skamper is the perfect fit! The Winter Challenge worked really well and the team at Skamper are always tweaking to make improvements so I’m really excited to be involved with them as they start out. I think it’s a great app.

These won’t replace our in-person events, you’ll still be able to collect our latest medal designs at the in-person events first but I think this new initiative allows a wider audience to get involved with Big Bear.

Have a look and see which On-demand event you’re going to do first!
